After a massive Parliament march conducted by the central government employees on December 15, the union has called again for a nationwide strike on February 15, 2017, demanding the Union Government to make an immediate settlement of their 21 points charter demands in 7th Pay Commission (7CPC).

An organisation representing nurses on Monday warned of striking work in public hospitals from March 15 if their demands for all benefits as per the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations were not met immediately.

Confederation of Central Government Employees JCM (NC) Staff Side has represented to Cabinet Secretary that the 7th CPC proposed 14% increase in Basic Pay is meagre compared to any other CPCs and wants to convene a meeting to discuss the charter of demands given below during Feb 2016 otherwise JCM (NC) Staff Side may have to go for indefinite Strike from 1st March 2016.

Controller General of Accounts coming under Department of Expenditure informs that any form of strike including taking leave is not legal and that Govt would not pay any salary if any of the employees resorted to strike.
